Productive Day

I am dead. I had an extremely productive day but I am so sore and tired now. My muscles are aching and I have lost 3.5 pounds from my weigh-in this morning. Here's how my day went:

• 8:30-9:25am: Walked with my friend Zoe - about 3.5 miles total.
• 9:30-9:35am: Picked up "The Time Traveler's Wife" from my friend Kim R.
• 9:40-9:55am: Shopped at Randalls for some milk and other items
• 9:55-10:00am: Stopped by McDonald's to pick up breakfast burritos and an iced mocha.
• 10:00-10:15am: Ate breakfast burritos with the boys.
• 10:15-10:45am: Did a couple of dishes.
• 10:45-11:10am: Got Danny ready for the bus.
• 11:10-11:15am: Called customer service and took care of a gift card problem.
• 11:15-11:30am: Called to let my mom know that I got her online gift card.
• 11:30-11:40am: Read a library book to Danny and Austin.
• 11:40-11:42am: Danny caught the bus.
• 11:45-12:00pm: Rechecked out our library books online.

Then, I decided that I really needed to mow the lawn. I got everything ready and here's how my afternoon went:

• 12:00-1:30pm: Mowed the front and back yards.
• 1:30-2:40pm: Cleaned up my mowing job on the sides with the weed eater. (front yard)
• 2:45-3:00pm: Picked up Danny from school.
• 3:05-4:30pm: Cleaned up my mowing job on the sides with the weed eater. (back yard)
• 4:35-5:15pm: Danny, Austin and I washed the car. Took a short break to pet the neighbor Allie's new puppy.
• 5:15-6:00pm: Watered the front yard and trees and let the kids run in the sprinklers.
• 6:00-6:45pm: Watered the back yard and trees and let the kids run in the sprinklers. We also laid down on lounge chairs and let the sprinkler run over us - that was fun!
• 6:50-7:15pm: Took a quick shower to get the grass off.
• 7:15-8:00pm: Made dinner - lentils and rice with salad.
• 8:00-8:30pm: Washed some more dishes.
• 8:35-9:15pm: Made some cupcakes and frosting.
• 9:15-9:25pm: Had to remake my bed as the boys pulled off all our bedding.
• 9:30-9:45pm: Sat down and ate a bite of teriyaki chicken and rice.
• 9:50-10:00pm: Made me some coffee to drink with my coconut cream pie.
• 10:10-10:30pm: Finally sat down at the computer to write my blog and check my email.

Wow! I get tired just thinking about it. But I feel really good knowing that I got so much accomplished. This is not even leaving me time to do some much needed graphic design work. Not enough hours in the day!
